I haven't seen Finding Nemo yet, but I have heard some of the songs on intercot radio, and I loved it. Can't wait to see it in person next year!

Boy, that's a really tough decision for me, but I chose FOTLK.

Nemo is a beautiful show with wonderful music. It's truly unique and a fantastic show...can't wait to see it again.

BUT.....FOTLK is so lively and fun. Definitely more interactive, and it just makes me feel so good afterward. It's just a really great show.

Nemo is a good show with interesting puppetry and well-written songs. However, I did dose off during parts of it, and that's something that has never happened at Festival of the Lion King, so the choice was obvious for me.

Both shows are worth seeing more than once, but FOTLK is one of the best shows Disney has ever done. It's a show we see almost every time we go to the AK.

I haven't seen Nemo yet, but based on the type of show and the music I have hread, I can't imagine it being as incredible as FOTLK. It brought me to tears.

Not fair! Not fair. I cannot choose one over the other. They are both so amazing - worth the price of the park ticket alone.

TLK is very lively with lots and lots of stuff going on. I think this appeals more to the younger children; although I still love going to see it each time I go to the Animal Kingdom.

Now finding Nemo is like a mini-broadway show. As an adult, I completely appreciated what the actors did to maintain an allusion of being underwater with their "puppets" while still singing and dancing. I found this show to be charming and funny. My 6 and 9 yr olds loved it even more than than lion king. You cannot lose with either show.

I really enjoyed Finding Nemo, but Festival of the Lion King makes me want to join in!

I love them both equally, but if I could only see one or the other, I'd have to chose Nemo over Lion King. :confused:

I've only seen Nemo once and Lion King abour four times. :D

This was a hard choice because I absolutely love both. However, the Circle of Life song is one of my favorites so that wins out over Nemo for me.

After thinking for a few minutes, I still could not choose. I eventually voted for Festival of the Lion King, but it wasn't easy.

I saw Finding Nemo - The Musical for the first time in May. I instantly loved the show, only furthering my interest in the Animal Kingdom. But I have seen Festival of the Lion King multiple times and still flock back to the theater each visit. The repeat value separates the two, so far.

If I still love Finding Nemo - The Musical in a few years, my opinion may change.

I haven't seen the Nemo show yet. I can't wait!

I absolutely LOVE FOTLK so if all of you like the Nemo show so much I'm sure I'll love it too!

I loved Nemo when we saw it in December, but Lion King is my all time favorite movie....

So I voted FOTLK!

We missed Nemo and I was really disappointed by that. But we love Lion King. My oldest DD was one of the kids picked to dance with the characters. It was one of the high lights of her trip!

I love both shows. I have seen Festival many times and Nemo once. I went with Nemo because it is a completely live performance with the exception of the music track. The vocals are live and the puppet work is imaginative, a little reminiscent of Avenue Q.

FOTLK is a must do for every trip!

Lion King has always been a favorite of mine. It is a very nice show

I didn't really like the Nemo show. Disney seemed to reuse the whole gigantic puppets concept and made some songs and set it to Finding Nemo. The visuals were good, but the songs were...in nice words.... not as good.

Festival of the Lion King, however is amazing, and a must see every time we go. So I chose Festival of the lion King.

We like both.

Tigers or Gorillas?

Asia or Africa?

Ketchup or Mustard?

Day or Night?

We have not seen Nemo yet, we are looking forward to seeing it in September.

We LOVE Festival of the Lion King. My DD wanted to see it 4 times last trip. It is a must do, at least 2-3 times a trip, each year for our family. :thumbsup:

Lion King is done so much better. Nemo misses the target

I guess I am the exception here but...

I found Nemo to be much better than the Lion King !

Actually, the Lion King got me bored and looking at my watch, while I came back to Animal Kingdom a second day just to see Flights of Wonders and Nemo a second time !

I think Nemo is much more adult-oriented, and spectacular than the Lion King...

Moreover, while Nemo has a storyline, the Lion King seemed pointless to me...

I saw both shows for the 1st time this past trip. I love both movies, however I had to go with FOTLK. I just thought the show belonged in the park more so than Nemo. Nemo seemed like it would fit in at a theater downtown here in Chicago, not in an amusement park.

FOTLK is a must see (Multipal Times) for us. Music, singers, performers, costumes, it's awlsome. See you in October!
We'll have to check out the NEMO as well.:cool:
